    Male: 67
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    For a short while I will be away from home enjoying some time in a warmer climate. No scale, but from time to time I will step on the scale at the local grocery store fully clothed and after breakfast and coffee. A lot of DNW!


    Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:

    1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
    2. Daily exercise; at least some movement
    3. Be mindful, moment by moment.

    1/1: DNW
    Happiest of New Year to you all.


    1/2: DNW
    DW has had a hard time processing the food associated with the holidays, so we had an old fashioned summer lunch of stove top green beans with potatoes carrots onions and a bit of ham. Good for a change!

    Then I went out with my extended family to a place called Burger-Fi. Why did I get onion rings? I undid my good lunch.

    1/3: DNW
    I did well yesterday except for the key lime pie I had. DW can’t help me eat it, so I might send it to the dump. I must resist the saying, “I don’t want it to go to waste!” We never really mean that anyway, do we?

    My watch died. Standard type watch. I have tried living without a watch on my wrist for about two weeks now, and I hate it. So, I ordered a smart watch. We will see if it is smarter than me.

    1/4: DNW
    Cookout on the pool deck yesterday. They happen about once per week here. You kick in $7 and people volunteer to arrange a nice burger and hotdog meal. There is a lady who always makes pans of brownies. !! I skipped supper but had a happy hour poolside with a couple we have gotten to know from Canada.

    Smart watch… I am a google/android person. I made that decision decades ago and I’m sticking with it, much to the chagrin of just about everyone I know. I have a Pixel phone, so I got the Pixel watch. It pairs with fitbit. I am on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knowing how to use it, but looking forward to getting my NERD on to figure it out. It looks cool.

    The watch produced a graph of my sleep last night and it looks like static electricity.

    1/5: DNW
    Picked up some friends from the airport yesterday. They will be here with us but in a separate unit for the week. Already had some BIG laughs. That’s the good news. The bad news is how much we will eat out this week.

    Should be offset with a lot of physical activity, all of it being trolled by my new watch. I chipped away at some of the watch features yesterday. One thing I am seeing is how much physical activity is involved in my so-called sleep. I am pretty sure I don’t have apnea, wife would know, but I have a chaotic sleep “graph” and it is short. It looks like a Gantt chart for the project from heck. Everything is on the critical path and after a while the whole team just quits and says “you might as well get out of bed.”. 😊

    1/6: 227.5
    Grocery store scale.

    I am actually encouraged by the somewhat steady scale readings. Why? Because it does not feel steady. Two meals per day helps.

    1/7: DNW
    Yesterday a pretty good day of movement. That huge quesadilla for supper was not the best thing for me, but it was the best one I have ever had. How is that for a rationalization?

    1/8: DNW
    Encouraged and inspired by you all.

    1/9 : DNW
    Cookout yesterday! Jane makes such good brownies!
    Other than lunch, I ate somewhat reasonably yesterday. Our friends are here so we play a lot of card games. Up to yesterday I was (uncharacteristically) the consistent winner. The wheels fell off yesterday. 😊

    A couple of us (not me) have bad head colds. Amazing that I don’t catch it.

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    Thank you musicsax. I could not imagine losing one of mine. They finally caught the man who did it. Hopefully the family get answers.

    January 1- January 10
    Goal Weight: 175
    Plan: Stick to low carb high protein diet. Workout 3-5 days a week. Weigh daily


    1/1 - 230.2 - 45 minute walk in the woods.
    1/2 - 232.8 - salty dinner. 40 minute outdoor walk. 35 min arms and abs weights
    1/3 - 231.7 - 35 minute dumbbell leg day. maybe a walk later but it's COLD out.
    1/4 - 231.2 - maybe a rest day or shoulders/triceps day - we'll see.
    1/5 - 231.2 - a WIN! We had a delicious lunch out at the newish Guinness brewery in Chicago. I tried to
    make good choices but had some beer too. I'll take this! Now to get my workout in,
    Christmas tree down and settle in for some football. GO LIONS!
    1/6 - 231.9 - LIONS WIN! Now - back to work and no more parties with excessive food and wine. Did 30 minutes shoulder/triceps workout, 20 minute indoor walk and just finished 15 minute outdoor walk.
    1/7 - 231.7 - back into the office today so minimal time to workout. Hoping for a drop by the end of the challenge.
    1/8 - 230.1 - saw that 229 for a minute before the scale settled here so I'm motivated. Walked away from the sweets table at work and went for a 30 minute walk when I got home.
    1/9 - 230.3 - ugh - come on! oh well - see what tomorrow brings and then on to the next round.
    1/10 - 231.2. Not what I wanted but know what I need to do.

    This whistle is MY whistle. It’s what I shall respond too. A self-proclaimed almost washed-up jockette needs an ever-present coach. It’s also kinda funny. It’s in plain sight now.

    @Chapter_3 if you need a whistle, I need an air horn.

    Sign me up for an air horn also, please!

    Round 283
    Jan 1 – 10, 2025

    62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

    SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

    Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

    History:
    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

    SW: 137.8

    Day/Weight/Comment

    1/1 – 137.6 Good early morning! And Happy New Year to you all! It is before 6 and I am have 1 hour to finish getting ready and pack up the car to start our long drive. We will drive roughly 800 miles today and arrive in Wilson NC where we stay overnight in a rare hotel that allows cats. I plan to take some time trying to catch up by reading all of round 282 today. I have been so disconnected. Catch you all later.

    1/2 – 137.4 I did not end up on my computer yesterday like I planned. DH wanted us to listen to a podcast together. It’s 6:45 and I am reloading the car. Yesterday was of course lousy for exercise, and not perfect on calories, but I did track everything, so that is a win. @UTMom81 I appreciate the travel wishes. Going to try again today to get on the computer.

    1/3 – 136.8 I should have mentioned that I packed my travel scale for the road trip. It is such a great tool, if daily weighing is supportive to you. Anyhow I am pleasantly surprised for the little bit down in weight. I tracked the whole day until I arrived a MIL’s house and she fed us homemade lasagna and meatballs. During the day breakfast started with a hotel sausage biscuit and coffee, lunch was a gas station hotdog, and between were some candy and popcorn. And of course, what was my calorie burn yesterday? NIL. I’m still catching up reading round 282. I got through page 6 before DH started complaining that my laptop screen was blocking the passenger side mirror. I’m the only one awake now, so going to continue on. Today is at MIL’s and we are going out to dinner tonight.

    1/4 – 137.2 Very challenging calorie and exercise wise at MIL’s. I go from undereating to over eating in the same day. I did ask her to go for a walk as well. We did 1.32 miles in 40 minutes. Not my typical pace, but was nice to find an “activity” to do together. Re-packing the car. We switch cars at MIL’s from my SUV to a 2007 sedan that we keep in Florida for use down here and stop the milage bleed on my car. Will be heading further sound in less than an hour.

    1/5 – 136.6 Made to the keys late afternoon yesterday. We’d had a loss of power that went unaddressed and lost everything in the fridge/freezer. So this morning was grocery shopping day. Prices are nuts in the keys, so you gotta work the sales and shop ahead. I did head out for a walk first. Did two laps 3+ miles. Was good to get out there.

    1/6 – 137.4

    1/7 – 137.4

    1/8 – 137.6 Not getting my act together despite arriving in the Keys. Have not even finished unpacking the boxes I brought down. BUT, I have walked twice.

    1/9 – 137.4 Still not tracking. Still have not finished unpacking boxes. Still have not joined gym Gotta get myself outside for a morning walk. Got 15 minutes to get out there. Will I do it? I need to catch up with group.

    1/10 – 137.0 I DID NOT do the walk yesterday. I am blaming it on not turning on the heat in our home. I was already cold inside and could not bring myself to get colder by going outside. No excuse, but that is what I did. BUT I did walk three laps today before reporting in. Going to make an effort to get into tracking today. I think I need some more food choices in the house, and have it be foods that support healthy efforts.

    End of round count down: 247 days to wedding, 110 to dress shopping

    Caught up reading round 282, now I just need to catch up on round 283, and then I should be good to go!!



    @tishabenn69 I am very curious about your new weight bench. I am looking to join the gym, but always good to have some “home” options as well.

    I love the weight bench! It's perfect for what I need. I am too self conscious to go to a Gym so this is the next best option. I got it off amazon.

    It takes me a while to get on and look through posts. So it may have been a while since you even asked me. You are very welcome :)
